Eclipse does not run on x84 systemhttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/158611/500853/#msg_500853
I have a real big problem. I downloaded galileo and ganymede as well but both of the are not running on my x64 Fedora 12 system. I tried to get them run with an old workspace which did not work. Then I created a new one because I thought somethings wrong with the workspace. This does not change anything.
Eclipse starts without any problems but then I can do hardly anything. Adding new update sites shows me the dialog to enter URL's but the OK button does nothing. I have to click somewhere else before the cancel button works. The same with new servers and so on.
It feels like my prototype ui's where I do not implement listeners on the buttons.

Can anybody tell me please where the problem is? Unfortunately there are no logfiles created so I cannot help with them.

Regards,
Markus

I assume you mean an x86_64 system (64 bit) and you are using the 64-bit Java (a 32 bit Eclipse should not even start with a 64-bit Java). Also make sure you are using the Java JRE from Sun. I think there are issues with the Java that comes normally with Fedora. In fact, that's likely your problem.]]>Francis Upton IV2009-11-29T19:27:54-00:00Re: Eclipse does not run on x84 systemhttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/158611/500861/#msg_500861

This is a known problem between SWT and the newer versions of Gtk and is
coming up quite a bit on the Eclipse newsgroups. Please see the bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=291257 You need to set
the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS environment variable as it says.]]>David Wegener2009-11-29T20:19:07-00:00Re: Eclipse does not run on x84 systemhttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/158611/500867/#msg_500867
